Football – Norway – Eliteserien Betting Tips
Monday night also brings us action from the Norwegian top flight with a top half clash between hosts, Brann, and visitors, Stabaek, at the Brann Stadion in Bergen with the home side yet to taste defeat in the new domestic season.
Brann are currently enjoying a run of five league matches without defeat prior to tonight’s encounter as they’ve registered wins over Molde 4-1, Sandefjord 5-0 and 3-2 against Sogndal along with a point against Aalesund and Odd in 1-1 and 0-0 draws respectively.
They also possess an unbeaten record on home turf with stats of 4-2-0 17/4 and they’re the league’s leading goalscorers at home which has assisted their rise on the league ladder. Indeed, Brann hold a very solid record on home turf as they’ve lost just once in their last 22 matches in the Eliteserien.
Visitors Stabaek have produced mixed results in the first stages of the new Eliteserien season as they sit in 7th spot prior to their trip to Bergen, as they look to avoid a third consecutive league defeat following back-to-back losses against Molde 3-1 (away) and Lillestrom 4-2 (at home).
Stabaek have more or less held their own so far in this campaign, and they have a reasonable looking away record which consists of 2-1-2 8/9 with wins at Tromso and Stromsgodset, but it should be taken into consideration that both of these wins were recorded against teams near the bottom of the division.
Stabaek were on the end of a 1-0 defeat the last time they visited the Brann Stadion, and I believe we could be in for another similar scoreline here this evening with Brann shading the points.
Pick: Brann to win @ 1.57 Betfair
